I paid 1/2 that for a complete, running & driving SSJ with shipping from NV. Only rust was under the top.

He's about 12-15K over realistic value.

With what I know now about restoring these cars I wouldn't have paid what he did in the first place.

all that being said, I don't begrudge anybody for asking whatever they want for their car. after all, it is their car and a free market. If it doesn't make sense to me, I'll just move on. knowing what little I do know, I just don't see a path being beaten down to his door by people wanting to buy them. good for him, if I'm wrong.

Your opinion matters ! LOL You mentioned the original ad this car was selling for 3k but when I first saw this thread and later checked out the CL ad the seller wanted 10k and then the ad disappeared a couple of days later. So how much was it ?

[Matt Meaney]

I didn't see the 10k add and have no idea what it sold for. the latest add for 18K is still up on craigs list. just updated after a month.

It appears that someone is buying this SSJ.

[Matt Meaney]

do you know if the sale was completed and the final price? it would be great to see it resurrected.

I think its back up for sale........at the high price who would really buy it?
